Advantages: Cheap, saves time on longer trips instead of taking buses etc

Disadvantages: Food could do with some improvement!

Air Asia are an internet based airline serving destinations all over South East Asia. They often have offers on their flights and their tickets are generally very fairly priced. I used them to fly from Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) to Bangkok.

I booked my ticket on their website. It is very easy to navigate and when booking you are given the option to add a meal on for the trip, or have heavier luggage, which is what I did as after 6 weeks travelling I knew I would have over 15 kilos of luggage with me!

I didn't have any problems checking in. Staff were friendly and efficient.

On the plane, I would have liked a bit more room. I was sat next to one of those arm-rest hoggers, so was a bit squidged up against the window, but as the flight was only around 30mins-1hr it wasn't too bad!

Food-wise I actually paid for "Nasi Lemak" when I was booking my flight. I wasn't particularly impressed, as it didn't include a drink, it wasn't particularly filling, and it just wasn't anything special. I guess it was just typical aeroplane food, but seeing as I had paid a bit extra I would have liked them to make slightly more effort with it!

There wasn't any entertainment on my flight, so I can't comment on it, but as I said, my flight was extremely short so it didn't matter. There was a magazine available to read though.

Overall my experience of Air Asia was positive, and I would definitely recommend them if you are looking for a quicker way to travel around SE Asia!

Summary: Overall a great airline!
